Unraveling the venom constituents of the endoparasitoid <i>Aphidius gifuensis</i> with an emphasis on the discovery of a novel insecticidal peptide

The findings of this study significantly contribute to our knowledge of the composition and functionality of A. gifuensis venom, establishing a foundation for further investigation into the biological roles of the identified venom constituents. The insecticidal Vn1 isolated from the venom of this parasitoid represents a valuable resource for the development of innovative biocontrol agents with potential applications in agriculture. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
